Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Shooting [-] steps with one stone bow is already very difficult, even if you can hit it by chance, you can't talk about being accurate, so it is necessary to use two stone bows.

The horse galloped at a normal speed, and Yi Xiao didn't play any tricks. When the horse got between the east and the west, it was just an ordinary cross-horse shot—the body twisted to the right, the right hand drew the bow, the left hand held the arrow, and the bow opened to the full moon. The arrow is like a shooting star.

"Whoosh!"

The lantern three hundred paces away immediately went out.

"Phew!" The audience gasped in surprise, and then became loud and loud.This Yi Xiao really wasn't bragging, he could really shoot a wick [-] paces away!

It is lively for laymen, but those who know how to shoot arrows, especially those who know actual combat, understand that shooting wicks at this distance does not require any fancy shooting posture.Because this is equivalent to when the two armies are shooting at each other, Yi Xiao can shoot the enemy, but the enemy can't shoot him, what kind of shooting posture is needed?

In the north stand, Tong Guan was not calm anymore, he praised it uncharacteristically, and gave a super high comment: "This man's arrow skills are so high, our family is ashamed of himself!"

Zhao Ji was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and turned his head to ask: "Why did Tong Aiqing say this? I think that this Juzi whose surname is Yi, his archery skills are not as good as those of the two female generals before, is it just because of the distance and the precision of the head Does it make Tong Aiqing sigh to herself?"

Tong Guan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty does not know that this person's shooting skills have returned to the basics and reached a state of magic in the ordinary. It seems that he is shooting casually, but in fact his hands, eyes, body, body and horse are all integrated into one. , the accuracy of the handling, even the old slave can't compare, the old slave really can't imagine any way to surpass this person, this person has already won the first place.

Everyone was shocked after hearing this, this evaluation is too high!It's so high that it reaches the sky, and it can't be higher!But the question is how do you count Wei Xianda's lottery tickets?Didn't you kill Wei Xianda and us lottery players by saying that?

Cai Jing clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Private Tong's literary talent is really getting more and more meaningful. You can see the magic in the ordinary, good sentence!"

The lottery is bearish. Others are in a hurry, but Cai Jing is not in a hurry.The old man pays great attention to influence, but he doesn't buy lottery tickets when others buy them. An honest and honest grand teacher like me doesn't have this pocket money.

After complimenting Tong Guan, seeing Zhao Ji’s gaze, he turned to Zhao Ji and said, “It’s like a chef cooking dishes. Vegetable tofu is very popular.”

He converted Tong Guan's martial arts into dishes as a metaphor, and Zhao Ji suddenly became enlightened after hearing this.

And Cai Jing also took advantage of the opportunity with a wonderful flattery: "It's like your Majesty's calligraphy and paintings. The simpler the words are, the more you can see your majesty's profound skills, and the simpler the landscapes and flowers, the more you can reflect your majesty's painting. The charm of the mountain is just like the so-called colorful mountains when viewed from a distance, but silent water when heard close up. Spring is gone, flowers are still there, and birds are not surprised when people come.”

Zhao Ji couldn't help being intoxicated when he heard it, and said repeatedly: "It's wonderful! It's wonderful! The grand master is really talented! What you said is so good!" Speaking of this, Yi Xiao's archery skills have been forgotten.

Yi Xiao himself is not the kind of person who likes to show off, he just wants to be worthy of his qualifications and strive to go out with the army.After shooting out the lantern, he did not make a gesture to signal the audience, but returned the horse in a very low-key manner, and returned to the camp of Wansheng Boxing Gym.

"Yi Xiao is number one!" The chief examiner reported the latest results in a loud voice. There is no dispute that Yi Xiao won this temporary first place. It can even be confirmed that Yi Xiao is the first. As for Bai Sheng and Wei Xianda who have not appeared yet , At most, they will compete for the second place.

Therefore, people focused their attention on Wei Xianda and Bai Sheng, wanting to see who would get the second place.

At this time, Bai Sheng's bow and arrow have been delivered, and Di Lie sent Lolida and Shui Ningzhu to Bai Sheng's house to get it, the horned dragon bow! 21 Wujin Arrows!

Even when Yi Xiao saw the bows and arrows held by Lolita and Shui Ningzhu, his eyes lit up and he praised: "Good bow! Good arrow!"

This horned dragon bow was originally Pang Wanchun's matching bow, a real three-stone bow, even more than three stones.A month ago, Bai Sheng captured it from Pang Wanchun, and when he reconciled with Fang Baihua, he put Pang Wanchun back, but he didn't return the bow.

Here's the loot!How can I pay it back?It's just that he couldn't draw this horned dragon bow at the beginning, but now he has undergone a baptism of Wanxiang Divine Art, and he has been completely reborn, thinking that it will not be a problem at all to open this bow again.

Although he got the bow, he still refused to appear before Wei Xianda, and Wei Xianda had been terrified by him just now, for fear of being exposed by him, he didn't dare to talk anymore, and obediently walked to the leading horse.

Seeing Wei Xianda enter the arena, there was a buzz of discussion in the arena. Most of the discussions were pessimistic and depressing. The money was all in vain, so who could be elated?

But after all, some people don't give up, and hope that Wei Xianda can reproduce the demeanor in the weightlifting test. In the weightlifting test, Wei Xianda surpassed Yi Xiao by a lot!

Wei Xianda didn't care about it, and said in his heart that let alone three hundred steps, I would not be afraid of three thousand steps!If your Yi Xiao hits the shot, I, Wei Xianda, can hit it.

He walked to the leading horse, first picked up a bow, then picked out a war horse and was about to pull the saddle, only to see all the examiners looking at each other, and the judges in the west stand were in an uproar.

why?Because no matter whether you are an examiner or a student, most of them are experts. No matter how good you Wei Xianda is, you can't shoot a lantern three hundred steps away with a stone bow, right?

Wei Xianda didn't know that he made a low-level mistake, turned over and got on the horse, and suddenly heard: "Uncle Guo wait a moment!"

A person came hurriedly from a distance, and someone recognized him as Wang Wenbin, the instructor of the 80 Imperial Army.Wang Wenbin held his two-stone bow in his hand and shouted: "The last general, Wang Wenbin, the former instructor of the imperial court, came here to deliver the bow to Uncle Guo by order of Tong Privy Councilor."

Only then did Wei Xianda realize that he had almost made a big mistake, and he was sweating profusely. While receiving the two stone bows, he handed the other to Wang Wenbin, saying, "Thank you, Clerk Tong, for your support!"

Taking two crossbows and a special long arrow, Wei Xianda urged his horse and ran towards the field. Halfway through, he stretched out his bow and set up an arrow. It was a month and a half, which was a bit flatter than the moon on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month in the sky.

This Wei Xianda was embarrassed immediately, he didn't expect that the two stone bows could not be pulled apart!But the arrow had to be fired, he simply gritted his teeth, stopped aiming, and shouted: "Go!" Then he let go of the hand pulling the string.

There was also a sound of "嗖", the arrow did not know how much it deviated from the target, and it flew crookedly to nowhere.

Amidst the din of people, only a faint "Ouch" sounded in the distance, and when people looked at the lantern three hundred steps away, they saw that the lantern had really gone out!

This time it was terrible, there was a "coax" from the audience, and it exploded, and it was shot!This means that Wei Xianda and Yi Xiao are at least in a tie!This means that those lottery tickets that buy Wei Xianda riding and shooting first have won the prize!

Still the whole audience cheered, no less than when Yi Xiao hit the shot, and everyone praised in their joy that Uncle Wei Guo is really a sharp shooter!

Chapter 289

The maximum shooting range of an ordinary two-stone bow can reach one mile, but Wang Wenbin's two-stone + bow can reach one and a half miles if it is fully opened.This is the data that Bai Sheng personally verified.

So even if Wei Xianda only drew a little more than half of this bow, the extended feathered arrow was enough to shoot at a distance of three hundred steps.

Bai Sheng could see very clearly that the arrow hit the small official in the examination room who helped Wei Xianda cheat.

The miserable little official was shot by an arrow in the thigh, and he had to endure the pain to extinguish the candles in the lantern with the prepared water bag.

By the way, how can the candles in this lantern be splashed out?The answer is simple, the lantern used for the archery target has an opening above it, not that kind of dead wind, and the one shot by Wei Xianda has a particularly large opening.

As for the lantern that the little official sent up to the chief examiner for verification, it was another lantern that had been prepared long ago. The arrow had even been inserted into that lantern, and the wick inside had been cut off in advance.

Although the moon is shining brightly and the stars are scarce, and the silver light is covering the ground, the scenery three hundred paces away is not something ordinary people can see clearly. Like Bai Sheng, there are not many people who can see the tricks. is one of the few.

But those experts who can't see clearly are not stupid. No matter how you look at it, Wei Xianda's arrow doesn't seem to be able to hit the target. Wei Xianda cheated.

Wei Xianda was the most shameless, but he didn't end up in the crowd's lottery. Instead, he rode his horse and held his bow and rode along the edge of the stand, as if he just shot out the candle with his true skills and learning. Enjoy people cheering.

Seeing his virtue, even Tong Guan was embarrassed to give him a good review. If Tong Gonggong was replaced by a modern person, he would have to ask Wei Xianda: Did you shoot it yourself?

However, Concubine Wei Xian didn't know the mystery, her little hands hurt from the slapping, and she was still applauding her brother, this brother is really up-to-date!He even had a tie with Yi Xiao, thinking of this, he still wanted to ask Eunuch Tong: "Is my younger brother better at archery than you?"

Eunuch Tong's face turned green, but he had to give Concubine Xian some face, so he reluctantly nodded and murmured: "Strong"

Concubine Wei Xian made a lot of money but it wasn't enough. She wanted to hit Zhao Fujin and Li Shishi with a sentence: "Did you see it? This is called real archery!"

The implication is, you still want to buy Bai Sheng?Fortunately, did not buy it?

She wanted to show off her younger brother in front of two young and beautiful girls, but Zhao Fujin and Li Shishi are also amateurs. It is scary to say that weightlifting is a thing that weighs thousands of catties. They are not sure that Bai Sheng can do it, but archery What is there not to bet on?

Zhao Fujin immediately said loudly: "Bai Sheng hasn't shot yet, how do you know he can't take the first place?"

This voice was so shocking that the people in the North Stand stopped talking, isn't Empress Maode too confident?People were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to refute in person. After all, she was the emperor's favorite daughter, so why refute her?Do you block yourself?

Even Zhao Ji, who wanted to refute his daughter the most, didn't have the nerve to point out her ignorance in public. To Zhao Fujin, Zhao Ji was definitely a loving father.

So people thought of going to see Bai Sheng, but they saw that Bai Sheng had already entered the arena on a white horse.

Usually, when there are big leaders present, there is an emphasis on the upper and lower effects. The north stand fell silent, and even the people in the east and west stands became quiet. Everyone turned their attention to Bai Sheng in the arena.

The moonlight was like silver, and Bai Sheng, who was in white clothes and white horse, was even more shining. Seeing that his sweetheart was so chic, Li Shishi couldn't help blurting out a Tang poem: "The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star!"
